Secretary for Transport and Public Works Raimundo do Rosario said yesterday the government was planning to use the plots of undeveloped land that it re-possessed to compensate developers whom it owes land-lease rights, as the government has used a rather large area of land which originally had been leased to developers but been used by the government for other purposes.
Chief Executive Fernando Chui Sai On admitted last month in the legislature that the government has used a total of 88,806 square metres of land which actually had been leased to developers.
Rosario spoke to reporters about the issue after attending a meeting of the legislature’s Follow-up Committee for Land and Public Concession Affairs.
